Player Behavior

I'm not going to defend any of dechaine's prior actions. I don't see this as outrageous as many of you do. Guy shows up, doesn't feel or play well, and pulls out. I don't see the big deal, happens all the time in sports. I personally think the could have played the set out, but I'm not him. I have no idea how he was actually feeling, nor do you. I don't see how it's inherently better to scratch before the match, he tried and wasn't up to it. Ok what does that matter to you? Again I dislike the attitude he has shown in the past, but I've heard nothing of him acting that way here. If he went on a tirade and blamed everyone else in the room but himself that would be a different story, simply conceding to your opponent is not grounds for dismissal.

I just looked over the tournament brackets and realized he played a match two hours later and won. He couldn't have been feeling too bad. I still wouldn't call for his head, but just saying I'm not feeling it is not an excuse for his behavior. It seems like he was punished in an appropriate manner.
 
Ridiculous "way" to correct issues like this..

Or do what Shaw told him at TS. Say rack again and I'm going to knock you out. Johnnyt

Then the annoying player, after seeing a threat, simply pulls his smoker and merely puts 4 bullets in the "tough guy" and in the process injures some bystanders.
What a championship way to deal with this stuff...dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb.
Yea, yea, yea, I know....man with gun ends up in prison or killed on the spot himself...but "I'm going to knock you out" guy is STILL dead with 4 bullets in him and nothing has been solved.
Except the news headlines read "Man Killed in Shooting at Local Pool Hall". Very cosmopolitan. :boring2:
Some of you people have been watching too many "pool hustler" movies.

I'm sure Shaw wouldn't have hit him, but when you keep that rack crap up and nobody does a thing about it, you feel like taking your own steps to stop it. I'm also sure Mike D. didn't have a gun in his pocket. Johnnyt
